eBay Global Shipping. A bad experience.
A bad experience today with eBay global shipping. I wonder if others have had the same experience.
I sold a razor to an overseas buyer. I have sold several to him in the past. Two weeks after I sent the razor to their global shipping center I received an email from eBay. The item in question has been deemed restricted. This could be due to import/shipping restrictions or eligibility requirements within the Global Shipping Program. The item will not be shipped forward to its final destination and will not be returned to you.
Don’t worry! Your buyer will be notified and refunded automatically by eBay within 72 hours. You will retain the buyer’s original payment. At this time, the transaction is considered complete, and no further action is needed.
Today the item shows up for sale on eBay by another seller using my pictures and my write up of the razor. A huge seller with over 98K in sales. The whole thing just stinks. The folks I talked with on the phone at eBay seemed very engaged but they were just passing information up the food chain and I'm sure I will never hear of any resolution. Some rats working in the global shipping center. I hope they can clean them out.
